Five florists leading a wave of avant-garde floral design

Monday, October 01, 2018

The Toronto floral designer errs on the side of weird, with surreal, oft spray-painted arrangements that have been featured everywhere from the Gardiner Museum to album artwork for Cold Specks. “I am infinitely inspired by the bizarre and am constantly working to emulate a fine balance between an aesthetic that is beautiful and pleasing, but equally strange and unexpected,” she says. Story continues below advertisement Story continues below advertisement Marc Sardi Marc Sardi Marc Sardi A few years ago, Montreal’s Marc Sardi was in the midst of a career crisis. While questioning the 20 years he’d spent in environmental work, he began picking wildflowers, something he’d done as a child growing up in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Que. He was instantly transported, and after a few months of posting Dutch still life-inspired arrangements on Instagram, he launched his own naturalistic floral design company. “I love to recreate a mini-landscape with flowers and foliage that typically grow together in a garden,” he says. Respecting natural growth patterns are essential for Sardi, “complete with tall, hidden, and cascading elements that reflect the natural movement and positions of stems, leaves and blooms.” Timberlost Toronto florist Lauren Wilson.

Flowers from all over the world sent to El Paso victim's funeral - WKMG News 6 & ClickOrlando

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Reckard's son said. Elodia Perches, co-owner of Perches Funeral Home, said the funeral home has received more than 400 flower arrangements. One local florist said her business delivered more than 50 arrangements, with orders coming in from New York and Michigan. One of those arrangements came from the family of a victim of the Sandy Hook shooting. "I've been in business over 30 years," Sandy Blanco, owner of Debbie's Bloomers, told CNN. "I've never seen any outpouring so beautiful, and an outpouring as large as this." Salvador Perches, owner of Perches Funeral Home, told the mourners that funeral homes across El Paso had received so many flower arrangements that he coordinated with them to have 22 hearses -- one for each the 22 people killed in the shooting -- to deliver the flowers to a memorial in the the Walmart parking lot. One woman flew in from San Francisco When Hala Hijazi heard about the open invitation to the visitation three days ago, she broke down. Seeing how much Basco loved his wife and how lost he is without her touched her heart, she said. Without a second thought, Hijazi cleared her calendar and booked a flight to El Paso from San Francisco. "I didn't want him to suffer alone. I didn't want him to grieve alone," she said through tears. Hijazi said that "all the rhetoric that's going on in this world" makes her want to show kindness. And if she gets a chance to talk to Basco at the funeral, she wants to thank him. She got that chance when she sat behind Basco at the service. "I thanked him for not just bringing El Paso together, but bringing the country together," she said. "I have never witnessed a human being as humble, as kind, as sweet, as pure of heart that I've ever met in my entire life." Hijazi said with all the negativity, divisiveness and violence in the world, she was worried she would be desensitized. "He was a breath of fresh air to me to weep as much as I could," she said of Basco. She said El Paso was a beautiful and kind community, and she said she would come back for sure. "They're like this whether there was a tragedy or not, and that's how we should all be," she said. Her husband visits her memorial every day Since the massacre that took the love of his life, Basco has visited the makeshift memorial behind Walmart daily, coming and going at all hours. He leaves fresh flowers each day at the site of a white cross bearing his wife's name and removes any that are dying. Sometimes, he talks to her. "I promised her fresh roses every day," Basco said. Basco met Reckard at a bar 22 years ago. She had been smiling at him that night, and he eventually worked up the courage to approach her. A drink and friendly conversation soon turned into a dinner. "Me and my wife had a bond, a magnificent bond," Basco said. "I never felt anything like that in my life." The couple soon became inseparable, traveling around the country until they eventually settled in El Paso. They took care of each other as they grew older and as Reckard began battling Parkinson's disease. On August 3, Reckard headed to the Walmart near Cielo Vista Mall for groceries. It was the last time Basco saw ... https://www.clickorlando.com/news/national/flowers-from-all-over-the-world-sent-to-el-paso-victims-funeral
